Princess Mirror-Belle and the Dragon Pox

Princess Mirror-Belle and the Dragon Pox

by Lydia Monks (Illustrator), Julia Donaldson (Author)

Synopsis

Imagine Ellen's surprise when Princess Mirror-Belle climbs out of the bathroom mirror! She comes from a world where bubble fish swim in the bath, elves sleep in slippers, and brave knights fight fire-breathing dragons. And while Ellen has chicken pox, Mirror-Belle has dragon pox -- but she knows just the cure. The bath is soon overflowing with bubbles and goo . . . but will it get rid of their spots?

Based on the original Princess Mirror-Belle story for older readers, Princess Mirror-Belle and the Dragon Pox is the seventh glittery adventure from Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, the award-winning creators of What the Ladybird Heard and The Singing Mermaid.
